The wind was an average topgallant sail breeze from E in the morning and forenoon. The weather was good. At noon our estimated compound course and covered distance of the last 24 hours was WNW 30½ miles arriving at an estimated north latitude of 1º32′ and longitude 343º45’ and we found the actual north latitude to be 1º56’. We sprayed lime juice on the ‘tween decks and on the quarterdeck and we filled 3 barrels in the hold with salt water. Later during the afternoon, dog and first watches a gentle average topgallant sail breeze came from E. At sunset we gauged the setting sun at 18º30’ NW, and calculations found 23º29’ to the north of the west after it had set. Therefore we found the deviation of the compass to be 4º59’ NW. Later, till in the dog watches, an average topgallant sail breeze came from ENE. Today a male slave passed away, No.18. It stayed this way until the morning.
